Six Ribbons Composer(s): Jon English Performer(s): Jon English; Jan Carter; Wagtails
If I where a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share
If I where a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds with six blood red roses for my love to wear
But I am a simple man a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye.
If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care But I am a simple man a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
If I where a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share so be not afraid, my love, You're never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie'n back your hair
Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
